Running through my head:

1. I have to start looking for a new car. Much as I love my little Subaru, I will someday be squashed like a bug by a monster SUV. Plus, I now have the joyful privilege of towing the Parts Bucket across the Great Plains from time to time.

2. I would like to color my hair soon (keep the greys at bay) but am suddenly unwilling to shell out the $110 it usually costs me.

3. I have a lot of work to do before the BIG DAY November 30 (more on that later).

4. I need to get to Vancouver, and soon. Airfares seem unavailable for under $280. I will continue to investigate.

5. The Denver Film Festival ROCKS. I'm going to see 7 films. I'll do reviews after each one. (yeah, right)
